Barcelona’s latest victory has produced another remarkable chapter in Lamine Yamal’s rapidly growing story.
The 19-year-old superstar scored twice in Barça’s 4-2 victory over Levante, taking his La Liga tally to six goals in just five matches and putting himself alongside Lionel Messi in a record that had remained untouched for years. 😱🔥 (FC Barcelona)
⚽🔥 THREE BRACES IN FIVE GAMES!
Yamal has now scored three braces in his first five La Liga matches of the 2026/27 campaign.
His first came against Rayo Vallecano.
His second followed against Valencia.
And then, against Levante, Yamal produced another two-goal performance to complete the remarkable sequence. 🤯🔵🔴 (FC Barcelona)
That means six league goals have come from just three matches in which he scored twice.
And that is where the Messi comparison becomes truly incredible. 👀🐐
🐐 MESSI WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD DONE IT
Before Yamal, only Lionel Messi had managed to score three braces within his team’s opening five La Liga games of a season during the 21st century.
Messi achieved the feat with Barcelona during the 2012/13 campaign, scoring twice against Real Sociedad, Osasuna and Getafe. (FC Barcelona)
Now, 13 years later, Yamal has matched that extraordinary start.
Not Cristiano Ronaldo.
Not Luis Suárez.
Not another legendary La Liga goalscorer.
Lamine Yamal. 😱🔥
🌟 THE NEW BARÇA NUMBER 10 IS ON FIRE
Yamal’s latest performance came during Barcelona’s 4-2 win over Levante, a result that maintained Barça’s perfect start to the La Liga season.
The youngster now has seven goals across all competitions, with six coming in La Liga and another in the Champions League. (FC Barcelona)
And his partnership with Raphinha is becoming particularly dangerous.
Both players have been heavily involved in Barça’s attacking production during this explosive opening to the campaign. 🔥🔵🔴
👀 HOW FAR CAN YAMAL TAKE THIS?
The scary part for Barcelona’s rivals is that Yamal is still only 19.
He has already matched a record associated with Messi, and he is doing it while carrying enormous responsibility in one of the most demanding attacking roles at the club.
Three braces.
Five league games.
Six goals.
One historic record.
🔥 THE MESSI RECORD HAS A NEW NAME NEXT TO IT: LAMINE YAMAL.
And Barça fans will be wondering just how many more records this extraordinary start could produce. 😮💨🔵🔴
